<h2>How to watch</h2>
<p>The <em>Final Fantasy XVI</em> State of Play will be officially live-streamed by Sony on its PlayStation <a href=YouTube and Twitch channels today. Of course, you can expect sites like IGN and GameSpot, as well as Final Fantasy-focused influencers, to co-stream the event as well. We’ve embedded the livestream below so you can watch it from this article.

What to expect

Unlike 2023’s previous State of Play, today’s showcase is focused on just one game: Final Fantasy XVI. Developed and published by Square Enix, this title has gotten a lot of attention from press previews and a PAX East panel over the past couple of months, and this live stream will likely only expand on the information about the game that we’ve gotten from those. 

Specifically, the PlayStation Blog post about this Final Fantasy XVI presentation says that it’ll specifically dive deeper into the “dark fantasy setting, the powerful Eikons and the Dominants who house them, and the flashy battle system.” After this State of Play, it seems like everyone should have a very clear idea of what to expect from Final Fantasy XVI if they didn’t already.
